    Spokesman Mark Regev responded to Palestinian negotiator Azzam al-Ahmed’s charge that Israel had thwarted the talks that broke down on Tuesday after Israel recalled its negotiators from Egypt, accusing Hamas of violating a truce.

    “The Cairo process was built on a total and complete cessation of all hostilities and so when rockets were fired from Gaza, not only was it a clear violation of the ceasefire but it also destroyed the premise upon which the talks were based,” Regev said.

    Vietnamese used the same tunnel tactics and so did North Koreans during the Korean war. Tunnels rats with guns were a nightmare for U.S. army. It didn’t break us but it did cause lots of casualties and bugged us down.

    Hamas gives the Palestinians two choices. You either die for Hamas or you die against Hamas, either way you die. Israel can offer Palestinians two choices. You either choose to live in Peace with Israel or die with Hamas. Make them choose and get it over with.
